ONCE UPON AN ACCIDENT

Kumiko's POV ❤️

"You have 5 cents left ma'am." The skinny looking receptionist said to me. How much could that buy?

"Give me chewing gum with it." I told him. My breath stank. I left my house without showering, or brushing my teeth as I only applied deodorant and rushed out of my house.

"Here you go." He said and handed me my bag.

"Thank you..." I looked at the name tag on his chest. "... Chris." I said and left the store.

I was suddenly craving Takoyaki, so I went to the store to get the ingredients to prepare it. Bianca wasn't talking to me, and I had nothing to do. I also didn't feel like going to work. After that conversation we had that night, we haven't spoken since then. Was she too busy to call me? Was she now engrossed in her new life that she forgot about me? I think she was still mad at me for what I said. What was I even thinking when I said that? I will call her when I get home and apologize to her.

I unwrapped the chewing gum and the mint flavour

    FIRST MEETING? FIRST CHAOS.Charles' POV ❤️Their gazes were on only one person. I sensed her discomfort as she squeezed my hand tight. Murmurs echoed around the meeting room as we stepped inside, making our way to the round table. Their gazes deepened, and this frightened Bianca even more. There was only one thing on their minds: "What the hell is she doing here?", But none of them had the courage to say so. They wouldn't even dare do it. I looked around, but couldn't find Zac anywhere. Where was he? He was supposed to be present here, but he was nowhere to be seen.They were all silent, as they all stared at me wanting to say something. I could see them staring at Bianca again, wondering why someone who spells doom for this company was present at a meeting like this, or even here in the first place. "What is she doing here?" Someone finally gathered the courage to ask."Glad you asked. She is my secretary, my personal assistant, and the third in command." I smirked.Bianca stood

    THE HANDSOME STRANGER NAMED ZAC Kumiko's POV ❤️I hummed my favorite tune as I cut the octopus into small pieces. Zac, Zac, Zac. His deep voice lingered in my head. I chuckled childishly and covered my face while holding the knife in my right hand. "Kumiko?! Are you in love?" I asked myself. "Ya, ya, ya! I simply can't be in love with him. I wasn't in love with him." I convinced myself, but I knew deep down I felt something for this handsome stranger named Zac. He was intriguing and I was hooked by him. I wanted to know more about him.A piece of paper fell on the floor as I was about to measure the flour. What could this be? I crouched down on the floor, and picked it up to read the contents written on it."Hey, pretty lady I hit by accident!" I read aloud. Pretty lady? How cheesy could he get? I blushed as I read the letter he wrote for me, as I bit on my lower lips imagining him reading it to me with that sweet voice of his."I don't know your name yet, and if you're reading this

    IN LOVE WITH A STRANGER NAMED KUMIKOZac's POV ❤️Today at work was hectic. I wasn't present when it began, but I knew something chaotic transpired between Charles and the rest of his employees. I haven't been there for a long time, and when I finally went, something like that happened. I couldn't even concentrate as I had only one thing on my mind; her.It was past four in the evening, and she hadn't called me yet. Did she get the letter? But I made sure I left it where it was possible for her to see it. Or was she not interested in me like I thought she would? I thought we connected earlier, was I wrong?It was funny how a total stranger was on my mind. I hadn't felt like this for someone for a very long time. She was fascinating, and I wanted to get to know her more. "Her house is around here." I murmured as I tapped on my steering wheel. What was taking her so long to call me? I was anxious. Was she really not interested in me? I changed my mind and made a turn to the junction

    AXEL THE FUCKING PSYCHOPATH.Bianca's POV ❤️After that long and exhausting first day at my new job, we finally got back to his place. Was this what he faced everyday? The hate? I couldn't handle it even for a few hours, I was extremely glad he was there with me. "I never want to be in that situation again." I said to him as we entered his house.He chuckled mockingly and held my hand as we walked to the living room. None of his servants were here, I could remember the first time I got here. They were all here to welcome me. I was just glad I wasn't seeing Audrey anymore. Now that I mentioned it, where the hell was she?"This is just the beginning, my sexy secretary." He said and squeezed my hand."You mean I will still go through a lot more?" I asked. I could barely handle this first one and was even surprised at how confident I sounded, but in reality I was extremely nervous. And he didn't even try to sugarcoat it. This was what I get for working with someone like him."Yes, you wi

    FUCK ME, CHARLES!Bianca's POV ❤️I held his hands and pulled him away from that monster in the living room. How dare he say that? He was going to take me away from Charles? Who does he think I am? He was pissing me off. I opened the door to Charles' bedroom, and sat him down on the bed. He was still really down, he wouldn't move, nor talk. I had to do something about it."Charles? You shouldn't feel so sad because of what your brother said to you." He looked at me and he forced a smile. This was heartbreaking. His brother broke him. He didn't care when it was about him, did he really think I was going to leave him?"You shouldn't give your brother the idea that he won." I said but there was no change in him. He covered his face with his palm, and his body vibrated. Was he crying?I stood in front of him and he hugged my waist. I couldn't resist it and pat him on the head. His hair felt so soft and smooth in my hands. I wanted to do something to make him feel better, but I couldn't t

    SWEET MOANING SOUNDS AND THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE! Charles' POV ❤️I unhooked my belt, and unzipped my pants down leaving only my underwear on. I could sense how horny she was right now and boy was I hard already."You're hard. I made you hard." She giggled and touched my erect dick and I shuddered. How was I able to control myself? A beautiful naked woman was in front of me, and I hadn't devoured her yet. She helped me instead, and yanked my underwear from my butt, and my dick sprang forth. "Woah!" Her eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed. She was fascinated by them. "Did they grow? This wasn't the size the last time I saw it." She said as she touched and played with it like a toy. I didn't mind, her touch was helping me feel more pleasured. "He wants you. He has always wanted you." I said and she laughed at my joke. I buried my face in her pussy, and tasted the goodness that dripped from there. She was so fucking good, so fucking sweet. Her sweet moans echoed in my ears an

    THE LIFESAVING DEAL Jason's POV ❤️Things have been pretty boring for me for the past few weeks. No super hot chic to go back to after a long day at work, no kiss, no hug, no phone calls, no texts. Sometimes I stare at my phone hoping and wishing to get a call or text from her, but I just end up getting disappointed every single time. Maybe she has moved on with her life, and I should probably do the same thing. I am to blame for her leaving me. I shouldn't think about it anymore, she was finally gone.I pretty much had the same routine. Have my bath, brush my teeth, go to work, eat breakfast sometimes I even skip, come back home, think for while, then go to bed, rinse and repeat. Sometimes it changes, depending on my mood."Hmmm." I sighed for the umpteenth time today. Today was a weekday, but I wasn't feeling motivated to go to work, I haven't for the past one week now. I ate my slice of bread filled with jam and thought about her. Gosh I miss her."Who the fuck could that be?" I

    THIS IS WHAT LOVING FEELS LIKE Bianca's POV ❤️I squinted and frowned as I felt the sun passing through the windows put pressure on my eyes. The sun was shining brightly and angrily at my eyes, making me grumble as I turned and tossed on bed until I hit something as hard as rock. "Ouch!" I winced due to the unexpected pain. What the heck was that?I opened my eyes slowly and caught a beautiful creature staring down at me. His lips crept up in a smile."Oh my gosh, it's just you. How long have you been staring at me?" I asked, trying to catch my breath as I was scared to death earlier when I saw him looking at him."Do you think a nobody will enter my room and get to have a glance at my beautiful goddess?" He said flatteringly and I blushed. "And I have been here since someone didn't let me get out of bed. Did I scare you?" He asked.Scare was an understatement. I was frightened to death. "No, you didn't." I lied. "I was just surprised to see someone has handsome as you in bed with m

    IN YOUR ARMS, AGAIN!BIANCA'S POV ❤️I reached for an apple slice, but paused mid-motion when I noticed Charles. He hadn’t touched his burger. Instead, he was staring at his hands, his fingers clasped tightly together as if grounding himself.There was something different about him—something hesitant, almost fragile, and entirely unlike the Charles I was used to. The quiet between us stretched, the tension growing as he shifted slightly in his seat."Bianca," he said at last, breaking the silence, his voice soft and trembling.I glanced up from my apple, his tone catching my attention and catching me off guard. His burger sat untouched on the table, the scent of melted cheese and grilled beef wafting faintly in the air. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. He wasn’t looking at me but instead at his hands, which were clasped tightly together that his knuckles were beginning to turn white."No matter what happens," he said slowly, his voice almost a whisper, "and no matte

    THE REUNION Bianca's POV ❤️The soft hum of a machine accompanied the warmth of sunlight that streamed through the thin hospital curtains, pooling on the bed, warming my face and forcing me awake. The hospital room smelled faintly of antiseptic, but the warmth of strong arms around my waist made it feel less lonely. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the heater and the steady rhythm of someone breathing beside me.Blinking against the light, I turned my head slowly, my heart softening at the sight of Charles sleeping next to me, his face mere inches from mine. In sleep, he looked so peaceful. His features, usually sharp with worry and determination, were relaxed while he was asleep. His furrowed brow relaxed, the usual tension in his jaw gone as it was no longer clenched as it usually was, and the faint lines on his forehead had smoothed out. It was as though the weight of the world on his shoulders had finally lifted for the first time in ages, leaving him at ease. His

    HOPE IS MORE THAN FLEETING Bianca's POV ❤️The bright and shimmering moonlight streamed through the hospital window, casting a dimly glow to the room, a perfect illustration to the situation at hand. The air smelled faintly of disinfectant, mingling with the quiet hum of machines nearby. Jason sat beside me, the weight of his presence both familiar and strange.He reached into his pocket, pulling out a small velvet box. My breath caught as he opened it, revealing the earrings I had left at his place when I decided to stay with Charles—those delicate, silver, and shimmering in the light. I thought I would never get to see it again, and I could tell that this was his way of saying goodbye.Before I could find the words to apologize, to tell him I was sorry for doubting him, Jason stood up. I watched him walk away, each step feeling like a door closing. He had never cheated on me. He had told the truth, but I hadn’t believed him. My mistrust had cost us both so much, and now there was n

    HOPE, AND THE START OF SOMETHING NEW!JASON'S POV ❤️The nurse led me through the dimly lit hospital corridor to the room where Bianca was staying. Each step I took felt heavier, as if my guilt was weighing me down. The soft shuffle of her shoes against the tiles echoed faintly, but all I could focus on was the growing tightness in my chest.When we arrived, I hesitated outside the door. She stopped beside me, her expression urging me to go in, but I only nodded in gratitude, too afraid that speaking might somehow disturb Bianca.The door was left slightly ajar, enough for me to see inside. There she was, lying pale and fragile on the hospital bed, her pale face illuminated by the dim glow of the bedside monitor. The sight made my stomach churn— she looked so fragile, so unlike the Bianca I knew.Charles was there beside her, murmuring softly. His expression was a mixture of sorrow and hope as he held her hand. His hands clutching hers as if letting go would shatter her, mostly him. F

    HELLO, GOODBYE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN Jason's POV ❤️I paced about the hospital room, my steps echoing faintly in the silence. My mind was a tangle of worry, prayers, and guilt, as I silently prayed for Bianca. She was in surgery, and things could either go south or smoothly. I couldn’t stop myself from hoping— no, begging— that everything would turn out fine.The nurses barely gave me anything to work with earlier. I wasn’t family or anyone with the right to know much about her condition. I was lucky one of them even acknowledged me when I asked.“She’s in surgery,” the nurse had said, her tone clipped.That was hours ago, and there was still no news.Bianca is in surgery. Charles was probably there with her, along with her best friend. They were closer to her than I had ever been. They would be worried sick too, probably more worried than I was. What would I even do if I went there? Stand in a corner like a ghost? It would only make things awkward if I went there.Finally, I sat

    THE BEGINNING OF THE END VCharles's POV ❤️Bianca was wheeled out of the surgery room, and as the doctor said earlier, she needed rest. The nurses moved her carefully, guiding the stretcher down the brightly lit corridor toward the recovery ward. My heart ached with each step they took— she looked so fragile, so small, and I could tell she was fighting for her life even now.I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Relief that she was alive flooded me, but it was tangled with fear. Would she be okay? Truly okay? No matter what happened, no matter how much the future scared me, I vowed to stand by her. She didn’t just make me happy; she was my happiness.The sound of the stretcher wheels squeaking echoed in the quiet hallway. Kumiko and Zac walked behind me, their expressions grim, the weight of the day etched on their faces. Kumiko rubbed her arms, restless and visibly drained, while Zac stuck close to her side, glancing at her with concern every now and then.When we reached Bianca’s new ro

    WHEN RELIEF FEELS HEAVY Charles's POV ❤️ I left the police station with a heavy heart, driving back to the hospital with a storm of emotions brewing inside me. I drove back to the hospital, my mind a chaotic swirl of emotions after seeing Axel. The revelation about the fire was a relief, yes, but it was tangled with a fresh wave of anger and sadness. For years, I carried that guilt— therapy sessions, sleepless nights, replaying every moment in my mind. And to learn it was Axel all along? I didn’t know whether to feel liberated or crushed. Tears blurred my vision as I gripped the steering wheel. I let them fall this time, the weight of everything pressing against me. Axel’s betrayal, Bianca’s condition— it felt as though I couldn’t catch my breath. Should I be relieved? Heartbroken? It was all too much. By the time I reached the hospital, I had managed to wipe my face and steel my nerves. Now wasn’t the time to break down. Bianca needed me. We both needed me to stay strong. I neede

    GOODBYE, AXEL!Charles's POV ❤️I was torn between staying at the hospital with Bianca and going to the police station to confront Axel. Every fiber of my being wanted to stay by her side, but I needed answers. I needed to know why my brother did what he did. I needed answers.The drive to the station was nerve-wracking. My hands tightened on the steering wheel as countless scenarios played in my head. Would he show remorse? Would he admit to everything? My chest ached just thinking about it.The police station loomed ahead, its dull gray exterior reflecting my mood. Inside, the air felt cold, sterile. Every step I took seemed heavier, and I could feel the stares from officers as I walked past. Their whispers were faint but unmistakable: “That’s him… the brother.” Shame and anger burned in my chest. This was not how I ever imagined coming here. Heck! I never even planned on visiting a police station, ever.Of course, the news hadn’t spread yet, but it was only a matter of time before

    THE UNEXPECTED TWIST AND THE START OF SOMETHING NEW Jason's POV ❤️Time felt like it had stopped. Everything around me was dark and quiet— eerily quiet. The only light came from a faint glow in the room, flickering as if it might disappear any second. It looked like Axel, Jane, and the rest had left. If they were still here, they’d have noticed even the smallest movement I was making.I was alive, but barely. Breathing was a struggle, each gasp sharp and shallow, each beat of my heart weaker than the last. How I was still alive was a mystery. How was I still here after the shots fired, after the pain that ripped through my body?I could still hear it all. I could still hear the gunshot echoing in my ears, the sharp crack of the pistol playing on a loop in my mind. Jane’s screams still haunted me, too, blending with the relentless pain from the bullet wound.The cold, sticky pool beneath me felt endless. Every attempt to move was agony, but staying still wasn’t an option. I dragged mys
